>>Found out that my job is not keeping me past the three-month probationary agreement this ends in one week exactly and they only told me today.<<
That sucks. :(
>> I have been asking about status for three and a half weeks and got no reply <<
They were probably avoiding an unpleasant conversation as long as possible. Not exactly a great sign. :/ It's better to be honest when an employer feels that someone is not a good fit. It still sucks but at least the person has more time to look for another job.
>> I now must face searching for a new job and interviewing while I currently have a job but only for one more week which is frustrating and maddening and sad I really like this position and the people that I was working with. <<
That is really hard.
>>I honestly don't know why they aren't keeping me because they said that I was doing a good job and that they liked me and that I was good at what I was doing but yet that I wasn't a good fit<<
Possibilities include they may have the work for that position but not really the money for more than interim-level pay, which is dishonest but common. Another is they may want to get rid of you for some reason that would get them sued if they admitted it. Or they could've lied about the quality of your work and couldn't be arsed to explain what you needed to improve. Also not a good sign of quality in an employer.
>> so I am asking for an exit interview on Monday to try and ascertain the real reason that I am being let go and to find things that I can improve upon I hate hard conversations like that.<<

Good luck with that.
